ARE LEGAL PLANS WORTH IT?
HAVE A LAUGH
You May Be Gambling With Your License
For many CDL holders, a legal insurance package might seem like a good deal. After all, look at the benefits: spouse coverage, paid bail, hotel discounts — it’s almost enough to make the $400 annual cost seem worthwhile. But with a CDL legal plan, you aren’t just giving up some of your money; you’re also giving up your right to choose your own lawyer. THE FINE PRINT Many believe that by signing up for such a legal plan, they’re being proactive and protecting themselves from criminal and traffic charges. If they find themselves facing a violation, some pro attorney will be assigned to their case and take care of the matter, right? Wrong. The provider has the right to choose which lawyer works your case, and they have their own bottom line to think about. Nothing is stopping them from appointing a rookie lawyer or a general practitioner unfamiliar with traffic court just to save themselves a little scratch. WHY TRAFFIC EXPERIENCE MATTERS it pays to have an attorney who knows the nuances of the system. Experienced traffic attorneys don’t just know California traffic law; they know common strategies used by the prosecution and how well different judges respond to different arguments. Within this complex, niche area of the law, there’s too much room for general practitioners to fumble. A PERSPECTIVE YOU CAN TRUST Beyond understanding traffic law, veteran traffic attorneys understand CDL holders. We work with them every day and understand just how much a conviction can affect their future employment. Several members of our firm’s extended family are CDL holders, and we pride ourselves on being responsive to their unique needs and fears. Why gamble with your right to legal representation for $400 a year when you can save your money and hire an expert if and when you need one? When you’re fighting a hazardous materials violation, a logbook violation, or a misdemeanor that threatens your future employment as a driver,
